Yes, it is a bit confusing.
But just for the record, here are the hunting seasons in OK:

I still don't understand why a hunting season would affect a search? But anyway...
ETA: I guess these reasons?

But these grids are so tight, I still don't understand why they can't be made safe from hunters. Perhaps an email or phone call to the hunt clubs and whatnot to ask that they refrain from hunting those parcels at certain search times?
I am interested in the area of the hollow and the stream/pool/waterfall/whatever you call it (depends on time of year) and also south of the hollow- there is quite a drop off there.
little, do you know who owns the gas well east of Smokestack?
